Features The SCA-M30 Ceiling Microphone is designed with high performance and durability especially for security applications, with the following features. Optimized for use with Sony network cameras The SCA-M30 supports “plug-in power” (accepting dc bias voltage for the microphone through the audio cable), and provides compatible audio electrical characteristics (microphone input signal level, dynamic range and impedance). High-fidelity design

• Supersensitive unidirectional electret condenser transducer.

• Acoustic shielding construction suppresses noise from the sides and back, while clearly picking up sounds from the front.

• Pickup direction is aimed simply by rotating the grill section.

• A low-cut filter is included to suppress low-frequency noise. Designed to endure external vibrations

• Rubber-cushioned mounting suppresses pickup of vibration noise.

• No-hole upper case design suppresses direct noise pickup from ceiling spaces.

• Folding mounting springs suppress pickup of direct external vibrations. Simple installation

• The microphone unit mounting springs require only a hole made with standard tools (90 mm to 100 mm (3

• The output signal connects to the microphone input jack on a Sony Network Camera (supports 2- or 3-pin plug-in power supply).

• A bracket is provided for mounting on ceilings where a large hole (90 mm to 100 mm

inches to 4 inches)) cannot be provided. Selectable input sensitivity Input level can be selected from 0 dB (H), –6 dB (M), or –12 dB (L) to match the requirements of different connected devices.Package Contents

Use this marker to aim the microphone unit during mounting. The microphone unit can still be adjusted by turning after mounting. Caution Microphone unit BracketNames and Functions of Parts

D Bracket Use when the unit cannot be mounted recessed in the ceiling. Rear View A ATT (sensitivity setting) switch Set this switch to select microphone input sensitivity (attenuation). Set if needed to avoid audio clipping on the connected device, according to installation conditions. “H” is the highest sensitivity setting. H: 0 dB M: approximately –6 dB L: approximately –12 dB “H” is the default setting. Refer to the operation manual of the connected device for level adjustment on that device. B Microphone output connector/cable Connects to a microphone input jack with “plug-in power” or equivalent bias voltage supply function. Connect this to a device that can supply “plug-in power.” C Microphone unit The unit can be rotated 360 degrees. It can be adjusted by turning after mounting.

Installation Installation Installation location

• Install near a corner of the room rather than at the center, to avoid other fixtures.• The projection on the grill indicates the microphone pickup direction. Rotate the grill so that the projection points in the desired direction.• Depending on the surroundings, sounds are picked up within about a five meter radius of the center of the pickup direction.• For larger rooms, install multiple units.• Install as far away as possible from air circulation systems such as air conditioners, and from other sound sources.• Install as far away as possible from lighting fixtures. Ceiling-Recessed Installation Cut a hole in the ceiling, and insert the microphone. 1 Cut a hole in the ceiling. Mounting hole size is 90 mm to 100 mm (3

inches to 4 inches) diameter.Caution90 mm to 100 mm (3

2 Insert the microphone unit into the ceiling. A Route the cable through the hole. B Fold the springs upwards as shown. C With the springs folded, push the microphone unit into the ceiling. Be careful of the springs snapping outwards when removing from the ceiling. Caution9
